Hello ICIA Community!

My name is Mrs. Balladares, but you can call me Mrs. B. I am excited to be the counselor here at Irvine Chinese Immersion Academy.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Integrated Educational Studies from Chapman University. After completing my undergraduate degree, I continued my educational journey at Chapman, where I earned my Master of Arts degree in Counseling, along with my Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) Credential.

I am passionate about supporting students in their academic, social, and emotional growth, and I feel honored to be part of such a welcoming and culturally rich school community. I look forward to a great year working together with students, families, and staff.
